So I'm able to calculate numbers and total them but the only issue is having when I clear my calculator to 0 and punch in a number like 9 for instance, it goes to 09. How do I make 0 change to a number on my calculator whenever I hit clear and then hit a number again? http://codepen.io/lisaramos/pen/MKBmgm

what's happening is you are setting the textfield to have zero and when you press buttons it adds the number to the string. You need to come up with a way to remove the zero if it's the first number and there is no decimal point.

@idietmoran I still don't have the 0 showing up on the screen of my calculator and when I press clear, 0 doesn't show up. In addition to that, when I hit a number, the 0 won't disappear, either. In other words, my calculator won't function just like the one on my laptop.

@LisaRamos I was just playing with your code and substituted my lines for the clear button with yours. It worked, but wasn't giving me a zero on your page, while on mine it did. So I suspect the problem is somewhere other than the Clear button itself.

for what it's worth, I preferred mine without the zero. I've got to go, so best of luck.

Yo wassup peeps. This rooms seems a lot less chaotic than the main one. I'm having a problem with my first zipline, the portfolio homepage.The "About Me" section is too small. And the code is exactly the same as the other sections.http://codepen.io/jmortelliti/pen/KpjMBd

@idietmoran I was actually talking about the button:active pseudo-class which gives the button a 'pressed down' effect when clicked. My aim is to disable that, to get a style similar to flat buttons

My problem is, when i click, the text inside my button moves by some pixels. I don't know if there's any 'clean' way to cancel it. The only idea that i have is to play with the position of the text inside the button

hey guys. im trying to figure out a little bit of a layout issue. as you can see. my background picture, when applied, cuts off the left side of my buttons for some reason and i cant figure out why. when the background image is token out, the buttons return to normalhttp://codepen.io/andrewchar/pen/wMRLra?editors=1100

@vbroskas Depending on how you plan to load the image I think it is better to pre-size it to your page, as even if you take a very large image (disk space wise) and scale it down (pixel size) you have to transfer the entire file size before it loads.

but if you are lets say making a picture viewer you may want to load a low-res version and allow the user to view a high-res version that gets loaded when they click on the image rather than loading a page full of all of the high-res versions.

@jberns@vbroskas Pre-scaling an image maynot always be desirable, because users tend to have varying screen sizes. It's best to store the images in the right proportions (eg. 16:9 for laptops, a portrait orientation for phones etc) and then load them accordingly.

@jberns@pradeepce thanks for the info guys. @pradeepce so do you mean you store the image on the website in various proportions, and then depending on what device the user is using, the correct image will be called out when they open the page?

First off, choose an image for your background. Search for "jpeg optimizer" and choose one of the online tools that pop up. For example, https://compressor.io, Upload your image, let it compress, and download the compressed file. Then, use it in your site.

Almost finished with my personal portfolio project, didn't realize how much js was needed to make things work the way I envisoned it. Just got to finish cosmetics like better fonts and replace placeholder images, with real images.

@tommygebru I probably should do a reset every project but I just haven't remembered to do it for all of them. I do always turn the autoprefixer on though. And I use SCSS for the CSS and Babel for Javascript.

If you use the header elements <h1>, <h2>, etc, you might notice that they look like regular text after the reset but it shouldn't do anything with flexbox, I don't think. It's mostly margins, padding, and font sizes. Here's an example of a reset: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

I finished my Local Weather app the other day and was getting started on Stylize Camper News and just saw it's not there anymore... so I just wanted to make sure it's changed and I'm not missing anything ?

@leaguelism I felt so stupid after I did the easy challenges and then faced the real web site creative process that I went back and did them all again. The second time I actually took notes on what I thought would be key to remember. I'm a nerd -- what can I say?! But what it really took to start the portfolio business was (after two weeks or so of being convinced that I didn't know enough) to take it one step at a time. I figured I could do the html part. Then I styled with css. Then I finally made inroads with js. I checked out books from our library and read lots of blogs. I really like css-tricks and David Walsh's pages. Don't give up!

Hello campers! I am trying to make bookmarks within a same page for the project "Build a Portofolio". The problem is that the link doesn't go to the desired bookmarks. My link is at line 12 and I want to go to line 91 with the id contact. Here is my pen: http://codepen.io/Jeckstex/pen/obJbjN

@leaguelism It's normal. We are all in the same boat. Practice, practice and practice. Don't see your learning curve as a straight line... That doesn't work this way. Don't try to remember everything at once. It comes once again with practice. Don't give up, and leave you the time to learn. :)
